The best visit to Oze National Park can be made during the peak of autumn season, where you can enjoy the yellowish or brownish grass at Ozegahara Marshland, together with the colorful fall foliage of the surrounding mountains. Most of Oze National Park lies within Gunma and Fukushima prefectures. A one-day trip from Tokyo would be possible, but I recommend taking the night bus and spending one whole day for hiking. The track is quite flat from Hatomachitoge to Ozegahara, but somewhat difficult for beginner hikers if you're planning to go all the way to Ozenuma from Hatomachitoge. Staying overnight in one of the lodges would also be a good option.

A student (by procrastination) who wishes to be a full-time traveler. Or better, hopefully will be able to make it as a profession in the future.
Currently lives in Japan and apparently will still be here for more years to come.
Have been falling in love with Japan since child, and the more I get to know tiny little things about this country, the more I feel like continuing staying here :)

You really should visit Oze, Jerome! I just googled randomly some night bus to Oze from Tokyo, there is one departing from Tokyo, Shinjuku, or Ikebukuro station, it costs around 7,000-10,000 (http://www.upon.co.jp/oze/plan/)
And actually, I also saw some ads around Kita Senju station promoting that Tobu railway have package for night train as well, you can check them here http://www.tobu.co.jp/2355oze/#category_equipment

Thanks Febry, Daniel! It is indeed one of my best autumn trips in Japan so far! Hope you guys can visit Oze in the future. I think the peak of autumn season in Oze is between late September to mid of October. I remember my visit was around October 19th.
